when we are in control

Sometimes we are controlled by seemingly noble evils. Because the camouflage is very good, the power is stronger, and it is more difficult to get rid of. After watching this movie, I suddenly began to wonder whether the most beautiful and simple tomb in the world was designed by Tolstoy before his death, or a masterpiece of his crazy followers and controllers.
I have seen this old lady a lot recently, and her acting is really good. Throughout the film, I seem to have been observing and thinking from her standpoint. When a person achieves something, they will face control from the outside world, so they can't help themselves. Even if there are some differences of opinion, after all, it will not end up being so old and weak and separated. But those who try to create idols, who try to control their lives, and those who try to achieve a certain doctrine are always crazy and will do anything to achieve their goals.
There's a line in the movie where Tolstoy says to his young secretary, "I've said many things...but that's what I said, and you, what do you think about yourself?" Yes, how do you yourself Thought. This is an important question.
Finally, nonsense, a basic common sense that is not controlled is to stay away from those who have strong single-minded dependence. Such as drug addicts and devout religious believers, such as parents who have failed in their careers and lives.

    How should ideals and love collide? I believe that even celebrities will be at a loss. Originally, I was worried that this movie was too bland, but I found that after watching it again and again, I was always in a state of understanding and moving. The place at the end is very touching.

    Gosh, I love a story about writers. Gosh, I love this one about Tolstoy. Mirren and Plummer are gems. And that scene where McAvoy sits with his ex Duff, it was transcendently heartbreaking. If you've ever had love, bury it with memory, not marriage.

The Last Station quotes

  • Valentin: Love and be loved. That's the only reality there is in the world.

    Masha: He said that?

    Valentin: Yes, Tolstoy said it, but l'm saying it.

  • Leo Tolstoy: "Your youth and your desire for happiness reminds me cruelly of my age and the impossibility of happiness for me." When I was courting Sofya, she was so young and pure, it seemed impossible that I'd ever have her. I didn't want to tell her how I felt and I wanted to tell her nothing else. So I wrote down a string of letters and asked her if she could decipher them. She looked completely confused, thinking it was a game or... I gave her one clue. The firs two Y's, I said, stand for "your youth" and then the most miraculous thing happened. She simply spoke the phrase, my phrase as if she had read my mind. In that moment, we both knew we would always be together. For those first years, we were incredibly happy, terrifyingly happy.
